Surat: The immigration department at Surat International Airport has begun biometric data collection for passengers registered under the Fast Track Immigration–Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP), officials confirmed.

The initiative is open to Indian citizens as well as Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders, enabling quicker immigration clearance and reduced waiting time.

According to officials, biometric enrollment counters have been established at both arrival and departure areas. After completing passport and personal detail registration on the Union Home Ministry’s FTI-TTP portal, passengers can finalize their biometric enrollment at the airport. Once registered, travelers will be able to use e-gates at international airports for seamless and faster immigration processing.

It is noteworthy that while Digi Yatra caters to domestic air travellers, the FTI-TTP scheme has been introduced exclusively to ease international travel. DeshGujarat
